The Ford Television Theatre S01 E08 Sunk

An alcoholic young man demands inheritance money from the uncle who's executor of his father's estate. The uncle refuses, but makes his nephew an offer: he'll give him $15,000 if he'll travel to the South Seas and murder a man named Jake Finch. The trip to the islands involves a three-week cruise on a schooner where the sad drunk has time to reevaluate his life.
